Is Indomethacin Advisable For Chronic Lower Back Pain?

I popped my lower back severely this afternoon lifting a very heavy piece of furniture. Almost fainted/vomited from initial pain. Slithered, crawled. Eased up, took Advil and ice. Can I take indomethicin leftover from pseudo gout? (Only 2 Advil left.) In a blizzard in NH. Will call doc tomorrow. Can walk now, but have great difficulty sitting down and standing back up. Thanks!
